Chapter 627: Nonsense
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Song Jia naturally knew what Deng Yue thought of him, so he was more concerned about avoiding suspicion. Even though Deng Bo and his wife often invited him to the Deng familys house for dinner, he rejected them whenever he could. He would only go over to eat on birthdays like Deng Bo and his wife’s.
Lu Zhen felt that Song Jia probably wouldn’t lie to her. Song Jia’s explanation made her feel better. Seeing that Lu Zhen didn’t say anything, Song Jia said, “You can scold me if you’re unhappy. You can scold me however you want, but don’t be angry. Don’t anger yourself.”
“I’m not angry,” Lu Zhen said calmly. She suddenly wanted to take revenge on Song Jia, so she said, “I just met some relatives of the Jiang family. Two aunties even said that they wanted to introduce me to a boyfriend.”
With that, Lu Zhen felt that her revenge was quite clumsy. She was not even twenty years old and had just returned to the Jiang family. Why would a relative she had just met want to introduce a boyfriend to her?
However, this was not important. What Lu Zhen truly wanted to say was: I don’t have to have you, Song Jia. She had been ignoring Song Jia recently. She seemed to be angry, but in fact, she cared a lot about Song Jia. If she didn’t care, she could just break up. Song Jia definitely understood this. She couldn’t let the man think that he was very important, Lu Zhen thought to herself.
After Lu Zhen finished speaking, there was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds. Then, Song Jia asked in a hoarse voice, “Then how did you answer?”
Lu Zhen didn’t know if Song Jia had guessed that she was talking nonsense. She snorted. “What does that have to do with you?”
“What has it got to do with me…” Song Jia repeated Lu Zhen’s words, his tone very gloomy.
Lu Zhen inexplicably felt a little guilty and hurriedly said, “l still have something on. I’ll hang up first. Go ahead.” She quickly hung up and heaved a sigh of relief. She was indeed not good at lying. Song Jia should know that she was talking nonsense. She rubbed her temples and forced herself not to think about anything related to Song Jia. She focused on editing the video.
After editing the video, it was almost dark outside. Lu Zhen rubbed her waist, stood up, stretched her muscles, and went downstairs. To Lu Zhen’s surprise, she saw Jiang Kai. “Brother, why are you back today?” Lu Zhen asked in surprise.
“I’m almost done with my work. I can handle the follow-up work even if I’m not in the company. I thought that you’re already back, and I was afraid that you wouldn’t be used to the atmosphere at home, so I came back first.” After saying that, Jiang Kai grinned. “How is it? Grandpa treats you quite well, right?”
Jiang Kai’s thoughtfulness made Lu Zhen feel a little warm. She smiled. “There’s nothing to be unaccustomed to. The elders are quite polite to me. As for Grandpa…”
She thought about how to describe it. Jiang Kai pursed his lips and complained, “Grandpa is very strict with the male members of the family, but he’s very easy-going to Aunt Hong and your mother. He must be very good to you.”
Lu Zhen could hear a hint of envy and grievance in Jiang Kai’s tone. Lu Zhen sat beside Jiang Kai and comforted him. “He’s strict with you because Grandpa has high hopes for you.” She thought of something and asked, “By the way, was my mother familiar with Aunt Hong back then?”
Jiang Kai was not scheming and did not think carefully about why Lu Zhen would ask this question. He shook his head. “l don’t know. You have to ask the old servant at home.’
“That’s true. You were very young.”

As the two of them chatted, Jiang Kai stood up. “Let’s go eat. You can sit beside me later. If you don’t want to talk, I’ll help you.”
Although Jiang Kai was carefree, he was very meticulous when it came to taking care of Lu Zhen. He saw that Lu Zhen usually did not talk much and guessed that she was not the kind of person who made friends with anyone. He was worried that she would not be used to talking to her relatives when eating.
“l don’t have social anxiety. Don’t worry about me. Just eat your food,” Lu Zhen said as the two of them walked towards the dining room beside the main hall.
The dining room was very big. As there were more people at home, there was a smaller table beside it. There were children sitting around the small table. The two tables were already filled with dishes. They looked like they were cooked by a chef. They looked and smelled good.
Only then did Lu Zhen feel that her stomach was already empty. She was more focused when she was doing things and did not realize it at all..
